Push-on Coupling｜Glossary
This section is part of the Coaxial Connector Glossary for RF and coaxial systems.
What Is Push-on Coupling?
Push-on coupling is a type of coupling mechanism that allows connectors to be joined simply by pushing them together.
It does not require rotation or threading, enabling quick and easy connections.
The connection is typically held in place by friction or a snap-fit structure.
This mechanism is often used in connectors such as SMB and in quick-connect adapters.
It is also sometimes referred to as push-on connectors or snap-on coupling.
Push-on Coupling in RF and Coaxial Systems
In RF and coaxial systems, push-on coupling is valued for its speed and ease of use.
It is suitable for applications where frequent connections and disconnections are required.
However, compared to threaded or bayonet coupling, it generally provides lower retention force and may be more susceptible to vibration.
Careful selection is important when mechanical stability is critical.
